If you're looking for the dreamiest spot to spend an afternoon sipping al fresco this season, both locations of Manhattan hot spot Dante have got you covered. Each of their sidewalk patios are hard to beat when it comes to people-watching, and, as always, their whimsical drink menu is totally on point.
In addition to their beloved spritzes, negronis, and range of Italian-style aperitivos, both Caffe Dante and Dante West Village are offering some bright new cocktails filled with the blooming, botanical flavors of springtime.
Sit back in the sun with a refreshing Sbagliato Sicilia, a citrusy sip made with Lillet Blanc, prosecco, and housemade limoncello -basically a boozy version of lemonade that transports you to Sicily.
Or, if you're a martini ride-or-die at all hours of the day, you can opt for the Emerald Martini, a crisp and aromatic twist on the classic that gets its name from the notes of celery and green apple.
Of course, you've got a whole slew of favorites to choose from - and you know it's always acceptable to order an espresso martini before five...
